During the G7 and EU oil embargo and price cap policy on russian oil / petroleum products, the tanker was involved in the export of russian oil / petroleum products.
The vessel is affiliated with Maritas Fleet PVT LTD (India), which was the former ISM manager of the tanker from April 2023 to March 2024. Maritas Fleet PVT LTD was founded in December 2022 in Mumbai and has brought 29 tankers under its management, including vessels owned by Hennesea Holdings Limited. Hennesea Holdings Limited was founded in late 2022 in the UAE and, shortly before the price cap policy was introduced, acquired more than 20 older tankers that focused on transporting russian crude oil at a price higher than $60 per barrel. In January 2024, the USA imposed sanctions on Hennesea Holdings Limited and part of its tanker fleet for violating the price cap policy.
Since March 2025, the tanker has been managed by Lumen Ship Management FZCO, whose fleet as of October 16, 2025, consists of eight oil tankers, including those under sanctions, which previously belonged to Hennesea Holdings Limited and were managed by the Indian company Maritas Fleet PVT LTD.
After the change in management, the vessel continues to transport russian oil to the PRC from russian ports in the Pacific region. Between January 2024 and July 2025, the tanker transported approximately 3.7 million barrels of russian oil.
Since October 24, 2025, the EU has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Switzerland has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since December 13, 2025, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
On February 24, 2026, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the vessel.
Since March 25, 2026, Canada has imposed sanctions on the vessel.
